Plan

Instruction

If you run script as is it will just get one transcript and save to html file. If you set it to False it will download everything. I haven't tried it on my computer as I've been doing multiple requests from my computer to that site already. I tried different things and this worked best. I uploaded it to my repo but if you would like to upload it somewhere else you are welcome to.
